I've rolled back, I've upgraded, and I've uninstalled a "Windows Live Display Driver" that Live Mesh had installed. Assuming that the problem I'm experiencing is related to the lack of themes, nothing has worked. And I have been re-running the WEI assessment after each time.

Which is odd, because according to Update history I upgraded the Video driver on the 25th, which may just be around the time the sleeping issue started.

There are occasional optional Updates Display drivers that can foil sleep or even cause BSOD's, but not enough not to recommend freely accepting all Updates. Just roll it back and then hide the driver when it reappears.

This is the thing I bloody hate. I don't know if it's a driver issue, a software compatibility issue, settings issue, or a hardware issue. If I was able to just use Windows without installing 7+ appls/plugins to get basic features, I may not be having this problem.

Of course I might just reinstall. I've been meaning to convert to GPT.

Hiding unused "removable storage" devices from "Computer" folderNot a major issue, of course, purely cosmetic, but still a minor annoyance none-the-less:
I have a number of card reader drives that I never use (haven't even removed that plastic cover tape from them to help keep the dust out) that show when viewing the "Computer" window that displays drives. ...

"Unexpected Shutdown" every time computer sleeps or hibernatesMy laptop often suffers from BSOD after windows updates, and I grin and bear it until it stops, in 2 or 3 days, which it has always done in the past. However, this is insane. Since my computer installed updates last Saturday, I have not been able to put it to sleep or hibernate without having to...
